Retranscription du document

Ah yes, Rowland Daggett, responsible for putting much of the fundingtowards the prison city projects. Tell me, did

you think the prison cities wereof benefit to the world?

Daggett:

I believed I’d make a return on the investment reasonably quickly

Hugo:

And yet here you are

Daggett:

What’s your point?

Hugo:

How would you like to be freeof this prison right now, and get your revengeon the Batman?

Daggett:

You’d do that

Hugo:

I have studied Batman for many years in the intent to remove him as thiscity’s protector. I have finally discovered who he is, but I will need your helpto remove him

Daggett:

I don’t want to be connected to this

Hugo:

Don’t worry, my plan will keep you as Mr Clean, I promise (there is a bugunderneath the table in Strange’s office)

Arron’s cruiser, over Gotham City

Arron:

That’s what he thinks

Scene 2

Gotham City 17th

April 15:00 EDT

Arron’s cruiser

Anarax:

Anything happened

Arron:

5 days, and nothing

has happened

Hugo Strange:

Ah yes, Rowland Daggett, responsible for putting much of the fundingtowards the prison city projects. Tell me, did you think the prison cities wereof benefit to the world?

Daggett:

I believed I’d make a return on the investment reasonably quickly

Hugo:

And yet here you are

Arron:

What?

Anarax:

It’s happening again

Arron:

We’ve been conned, the escape could have happened days, even weeks ago.I’ll have to change my approach

Anarax:

What is this about anyway?

Arron:

Hugo Strange’s profile was up on the UN records Batman downloaded, hewas, he was expected to be the psychiatrist that visited prisons to gainprofiles to use tospeed up the process on other worlds, but he pulled out,and Gal replaced him with a young hypnotist called Jenny Downs, I want toknow why? And if at the same I time I save Batman from a trap, so be it

Anarax:

So what now

Arron:

I think it’s time I paid him a visit

--------------

Blackgate Prison 15:15 EDT

Hugo Strange’s office

Arron opens the door, the office is empty

<Arron>:

He’s not here, I’m downloading prison records, maybe I can find out whereDaggett was being held

(he places a memory stick

into the port, data is beingdownloaded)

Anarax:

Receiving data, shouldn’t take too long, it’s not very well encrypted here

Arron:

It’s like Hugo wants me to receive this data, what’s he up to? (He hears aclapping)

Hugo:

I knew someone was listening in

on my conversation, so I set up a trap toexpose you

Arron:

Congratulations, I’ll be back for you (he removes the memory stick anddisappears into the shadows)

---------------------

Arron’s ship 15:39 EDT

Anarax:

What did that accomplish exactly?

Arron:

I set my visor to record when I came in, skip to the point where Hugo foundme

Anarax:

Got it

Arron:

Look at his belt

buckle.

Anarax:

(Zooms in on it) is that what I think

it is?

Arron:

Yup, the symbol on it seems to match the one on my body armour, computermatch 99.99%, that’s a Sarrahian council seal of approval. What is he up to?

Anarax:

So what now

Arron:

I got a tracer on him, time to do some reconnaissance

---------------------

Gotham Park Towers 19:45 EDT

Anarax:

You’ve been following him for 4 hours

Arron:

Yeah, and he hasn’t done anything more suspicious than taking a shower (hetweaks his visor and sees that he has no heat signature) I don’t believe it

Anarax:

What?

Arron:

I’ve been set on a wild goose chase; he’s a sophisticated hologram, not unlikethe mirror tech Gal used to fool me last year.

Anarax:

Your tracers are all but microscopic, how did he find

it?

Arron:

Because he knows how to look for them. Keep the ship on auto-pilot,

thenteleport me back to Sarrah. It’s the only way to find him

Scene 2

Forbien’s house, Sarrah, 18th

April 13:00 (Local time)

Forbien enters his house

Arron:

Afternoon off work?

Forbien:

What are you doing here?

Arron:

Hugo Strange, what do you know about him?

Forbien:

Never heard of him

Arron:

Don’t lie to me, Forbien, I can always tell. Hugo Strange had the Sarrahianseal on his belt buckle, and knew how to find a tracking device I planted onhim, something only high level policemenor

Council agents can do. TALK!

Forbien:

I don’t like your tone

Arron:

Fine! If that’s the wayyou want to play it, guess who I brought to the party?(An android knocks

the door down) the AMAZO mk2 android, reprogrammedto follow my orders, always knew it would come in handy. Start talking or I’llhave him do something unspeakable

AMAZO:

Access: Superman (his eyes glow red)

Forbien:

Very well. Hugo Strange is a human council agent

Arron:

What is he doing in Blackgate Prison? And why has he done psychologicalresearch on Batman

Forbien:

It’s quite simple; we have to assess Earthlings who may be a threat. In yourreport you have listed many of them,

we now have human agents studyingthem and reporting should the need ever arise to take them down

Arron:

Then why did Strange talk about taking

them out now?

Forbien:

It’s quite simple, we told him to eliminate the threat

Arron:

(Growls) shut down the project, or I’ll be back. (Arron disappears into theShadows)

Forbien:

(Dials a number of the phone) Forbien to council, we have a situation

Scene 3

Gotham City17th

April 19:25 EDT

Daggett:

So let meget thisstraight, Bruce Wayne is Batman

Hugo:

Indeed, and to remove him entirely, Bruce Wayne must be brought out ofbusiness.

Arron:

Your business is concluded Hugo. You’re out of plays now, I’ve found you

Hugo:

Impressive indeed, very impressive

Arron:

I think you’ll find you need a cell in Blackgate rather than an office

Hugo:

Mr Daggett, you know what to do?

Daggett:

Yeah, I do (he fires a rocket, Arron cross his arms in front of his chest; hisarms shield him from theblast, but there is a smoke-screen and they escape)

Arron:

Damn it, but if they’re after Batman, I know exactly where they’ll strike next

--------------

Wayne Industries Building 18th

April 10:56 EDT

Bruce Wayne:

Wayne Industries

has made substantial investment into the city, it is essentialthatwe start to re-engage our revenue streams or

else face administration

Men in Metal armoured suits surround the meeting

Knight 1:

Administration it is (he holds a gun at Bruce’s head, suddenly a disk smashesthrough the window and disarms the Knight, Arronglides in and punches himin the face before landing on the floor)

Arron:

Everyone out of this room, NOW

(he jumps onto his hands and kicks twoknights at once, he returns to his feet and elbows another knight in the face)could really use Batman about now

(Bruce Wayne nods and blends into theshadows, the knights begin to shoot lasers, Arron shields himself, Batarangsbegin to disarm the knights of their guns)
